Holiday houses in Olifants Nek

We had an absolutely magical stay! Theunes was the perfect host—warm, welcoming, and incredibly thoughtful. He greeted us with open arms and gave us a full tour of the property. We were touched by the small but special touches like cappuccinos, KitKat bars, and a freezer stocked with ice—such a treat after the drive! The views are simply breathtaking, and we made the most of our days hiking through the valley, exploring the river, and enjoying the peaceful beauty of the farm. It’s the ideal escape for a family of four—and being so close to Joburg makes it even better. The house itself is quaint and charming, beautifully styled with antique furniture, and equipped with everything we needed (and more!). We can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

We had the most incredible, wholesome stay at the Donkey Dairy! The whole team is extremely helpful and the animals are so well cared for and amazing to interact with. We can't wait to return!

A truly amazing spot, not too far out of town, but feels in a world of it own - highly recommended. I’ll definitely be back!

I had a great stay. Bridgette was helpful and responsive. Check in was easy. The place was also peaceful and quiet. Would definitely love to be hosted by her again.

We are so happy to have found this place. It is wonderful for a short break. The peace, the view, the river, the boma with a fire in the evening: fantastic!

Wonderful host, amazing views, we literally felt right at home, very peaceful area with some lovely Visits from Kudu’s. Definitely would recommend and would definitely come back again. All in all it was amazing

We had a wonderful two day stay wish we could have stayed longer,the kids enjoyed seeing zebras roaming around,they enjoyed swimming and playing by the entertainment area within the estate.Lovely area in the estate to braai with a dam view.The house just felt like home super quiet.Looks exactly like in the pictures but bigger.A comfortable stay for my family of 4.we definitely recommend Khanya's place.She is a lovely host.

We needed a creative, out-of-town venue for our annual company strategic planning breakaway, and Idwala Le Ingwe Lodge proved to be the ideal place! We had an amazing and very productive time there, and all our planning sessions were held outside, overlooking the Hekpoort area. The lodge was a great choice. It offers great views, four amazing bedrooms, and a massive open entertainment area—great for working, bonding, and team-building. Being less than an hour out of town, we will definitely revisit the lodge in future,

Great place. I’ll definitely be using this place again in the future.
